Our recently completed survey shows Phil Murphy in a strong position five weeks from Election Day. Murphy has a 30 point lead over John Wisniewski, his closest opponent, who is only getting 7% of the vote. The poll also shows overwhelming support for Murphy’s 100% clean energy proposal – to have the state relying exclusively on clean energy sources by the year 2050.

Murphy’s double-digit lead extends across all major demographics including race, gender, age and geography. He is particularly strong among the most regular primary voters voting in two or more of the last three offyear primaries (44%), liberal Democrats (45%), and white college-educated voters (41%).

New Jersey’s mass transportation system has fallen into a state of disrepair because of insufficient investment and a lack of planning throughout the Christie administration. The absence of a reliable, convenient, affordable public transportation network risks the safety of commuters, hurts the state’s economy, and exacerbates air pollution.

With the stroke of his pen, President Trump has taken a wrecking ball to our environment. His executive order sets our pursuit of clean energy back decades and foolishly seeks to return us to a bygone era of coal mining jobs and fossil fuel production.

TRENTON – President Trump has released his proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2018 recommending the elimination of funding for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, Chesapeake Bay Program, and other geographic watershed programs – a total reduction of $427 million from last year’s support. This would bring to a standstill these critical programs aimed at protecting, preserving, and restoring our nation's waters.

The League of Conservation Voters just released its 2016 National Environmental Scorecard, which shows mixed results for the environment.

New Jerseyans can be proud of eight environmental champions who consistently voted to protect our air, water and land against an onslaught of attacks climate change deniers. Unfortunately, too many Congress members – representing New Jersey and elsewhere – are voting to further the interests of polluters and developers instead of protecting public health.

TRENTON – The New Jersey League of Conservation Voters (New Jersey LCV) – the leading political voice for the environment – endorsed Phil Murphy in the Democratic Gubernatorial Primary today, becoming the first statewide environmental group to announce its support of a major-party candidate in this year’s critical New Jersey governor’s race.

New Jersey LCV cited Murphy’s commitment to environmental protection, leadership skills, and vison for making the state a national and international leader in combating climate change. With an anti-environment administration in the White House, New Jersey has a moral imperative to protect our families and future generations by electing a leader who will respond aggressively to escalating environmental and public health threats.
